Every artist has a favorite medium. For some it’s drawing, some prefer music. Jessica Cassity prefers teeth. “Changing people’s smiles is my favorite part of my job,” she said. “Some people may not think of teeth as art, but I kind of do.”
Often patients are embarrassed about their teeth, which leads to hiding their smiles, or not smiling at all. Cassity finds the art in correcting imperfections to create an artful smile. “The most rewarding part of my job is to provide someone something they were maybe embarrassed of before to something they’re proud of,” she said.
Cassity attended Casper College and the University of Wyoming’s outreach center for her undergraduate degrees before attending dental school in Nebraska. Her father has taught biology at Casper College for 30 years, and she served as the lab assistant while attending. “UW provided me with everything I needed to prepare for dental school. I feel I got a very good education there.”
She returned to Casper immediately after dental school and joined a practice for two years. She then opened her own dentistry practice, which she’s operated for six years. After an expansion several years ago, her practice has outgrown its location. She’s in the process of renovating 535 S. Center St.Don't know what tooling style you need? (which was formerly a wedding boutique) to accommodate her growing business. With a current staff of three dental hygienists, this summer she’ll welcome another dentist.
Casper Dental Arts practices “Gentle Family Dentistry for Adults and Children.” They see people of all ages (except little, little ones) and serve all of their dental needs.External hemorrhoids are those that occur below the dentate line. “I’m not a specialist [as in pediatrics, orthodontics, oral surgery]. I just try and fulfill as many needs of my patients as possible,” Cassity explained.VulcanMold is a plastic molds and injectionmold manufacturer in china. Crowns, bridges, cosmetic dentistry, preventative dentistry, sports dentistry, TMJ, implant crowns, Invisalign teeth straightening and teeth whitening are all offered.
“I’m excited to be downtown around so many other businesses that have been here for a long time, and also the new businesses coming in,” she said. “It’s an exciting time to be a business downtown.”
Cassity grew up in Casper, stayed in Casper for her schooling and came back home to open her own business. “It’s a good place to raise children, a good community, and I’m proud to be here.”
The new downtown location isn’t what one expects when walking into a medical office. The space itself resembles an art gallery more than the traditional, sterile-clinic dentist’s office. At the door, patients are greeted by a hanging water fountain with “Casper Dental Arts” written beneath the cascade. Sculptural lighting and hardwood floors give the space an open feeling. Patients can watch the traffic pass through the large windows as they’re being treated. Plans to showcase local artists’ work will further the gallery feel of the building.
“We’re trying to make the atmosphere nice and calm and soothing,” Cassity explained. She understands that some patients, especially younger ones, can experience anxiety at the very thought of visiting the dentist. “Usually the people that have some anxiety have had a bad experience in the past. We want this to be a good, calm place.”
She said the fact that she’s a woman is often soothing both to the younger patients and their parents. “I think kids see me and don’t feel I’m as intimidating. Mothers see me and think that since I’m a mother as well, I must understand and treat their children with kindness. Plus, women have smaller hands, which is nice when you’re trying to fit them in someone else’s mouth.”
She’s a mother of three,Canvaz offers quality oilpainting reproductions from famous artists. and seems to have a special touch with the younger patients. She joked that at her house though, it’s her husband who pulls the teeth. Their oldest was a nervous tooth-puller, so she understands the parent’s perspective as well.Don't know what tooling style you need? “A lot of it is just the personality of the kids, and once you understand that, it’s easier to help them.”
Cassity is working hard to overcome the nervousness patients can feel. “Everyone’s favorite joke is how they hate to go to the dentist. We’re trying to change that, even if it’s just one person out of 100.”
A new atmosphere, a different approach and possibly an improved smile can all be found at Casper Dental Arts, where teeth are considered art.
